Chapter 408 Courageous, A Battle in the Sky

Rumble!
Hundreds of warships appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun, and sped toward Tiger Tooth Pass.

The blue dragon banner fluttering in the wind reveals their origins.

In just a short time, hundreds of warships had arrived above Huya Pass and lined up in order.

The warship was filled with armored soldiers, densely packed, filling every corner of the ship.

The armor on these warriors reflected countless dazzling rays of light under the sunlight, making them dazzling and eye-catching.

Looking up from below, one would see that these densely packed armored soldiers resembled heavenly warriors descending to earth, while the fortified city of Huya Pass appeared as insignificant dust, like ants among mortals, ready to be swallowed up by these heavenly soldiers at any moment.

"My God, are they heavenly soldiers descending to earth? Can we stop them?"

"We have to hold them off even if we can't. The higher-ups have given a death order: anyone who backs down or is afraid to fight will be executed, and their family members will also be executed."

"Yes! We have no choice but to fight to the death; there is no room for retreat."

……

Although the dynasty only mobilized a million-strong army and a hundred warships, when these hundred warships gathered together, their overwhelming momentum still brought considerable impact and inspired awe.

Hundreds of warships, a million-strong army?
Even a million wild beasts would be on the verge of collapse under a single charge.

Not to mention the one million elite imperial troops under his command and a hundred massive warships.
At Huya Pass, all the soldiers looked at the hundred warships standing in the air and unconsciously swallowed.

However, no matter how trembling these soldiers were, not one of them retreated.

It wasn't that these soldiers were fearless and unwilling to retreat, but rather that they couldn't retreat.

If they back down, they will face a punishment far worse than death, and it may even implicate their entire families.

"This is troublesome. Judging from the way the dynasty is acting, it's not just about destroying the Great Zhou, but also all the other dynasties."

"The Imperial Dynasty has always wanted to unify all the dynasties, but it has never had the opportunity due to the rules of the Imperial Court. Now that the Great Zhou has taken the lead in starting a war and controlling all the major dynasties, it has given the Imperial Dynasty an opportunity. How could the Imperial Dynasty possibly miss this golden opportunity!"

"We have no choice now. No matter what the final outcome of this battle is, the fate of our respective dynasties is already sealed."

……

The generals of the various dynasties looked grim as they gazed at the hundreds of warships, a nameless sorrow rising in their hearts.

Neither the Great Zhou nor the Azure Dragon Dynasty could resist them, unlike any of the other dynasties.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty took control of their various dynasties first, using their power to fight against the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

If it were the other way around, and instead of the Great Zhou taking control of the various dynasties first, the imperial dynasty would have ordered the various dynasties to send troops to besiege and suppress the Great Zhou.

This is the tragedy and fate of the weak: they cannot resist or control the situation; they can only be dominated, not ruled.

……

A hundred warships lined up in the sky above Tiger Tooth Pass, and a figure emerged from the largest warship in the center.

The demigod's aura slowly dissipated, a dense baleful aura soared into the sky, and his indifferent gaze swept over the entire Tiger Fang Pass.

"By imperial decree, the Great Zhou has attacked and destroyed the Great Yan and Great Yue dynasties, controlled other dynasties, disrupted their stability, disobeyed the imperial decree, and taken the lead in starting a war. This is a heinous crime and should be punished."

"The soldiers of other dynasties shall lay down their weapons and shall not be pursued."

"Anyone who dares to defy the imperial decree from the Great Zhou will have their entire clan and country exterminated."

The chilling voice echoed in the air, resounding throughout the entire Tiger Tooth Pass.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the soldiers from various dynasties at Huya Pass all changed slightly.

However, no one seemed inclined to lay down their weapons.

Because if they don't lay down their weapons, they still have a glimmer of hope for survival; if they do, they will die immediately, and their families will suffer as well.

"Hmph, what arrogance! Exterminate clans and destroy kingdoms? With my Great Zhou here, whose clans can you exterminate, whose kingdom can you destroy?"

Zhao Yun rose into the air, his powerful aura emanating from his body, blocking the semi-saint pressure emanating from his opponent.

A beginner demigod? Upon seeing Zhao Yun, the demigod of the dynasty who stepped out of the warship frowned slightly.

According to information obtained by the imperial court, the Great Zhou Dynasty has one Sage and four Invincible Half-Saints, but there is no news of any Primary Half-Saints.

Now, another beginner-level half-saint has appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty has hidden considerable strength!

That's right, Zhao Yun's strength has already reached the level of a half-saint.

Zhao Yun was a top-tier talent, whose aptitude was not much different from that of Lü Bu. After such a long period of cultivation, Zhao Yun's strength had transcended the cycle of reincarnation and entered the realm of a half-saint.

"The Great Zhou?"

The half-saint of the dynasty who stepped out of the warship showed a hint of disdain on his face.

"A mere indigenous dynasty dares to boast of its strength before my imperial dynasty!"

"Do you think you can break the rules and provoke my dynasty just because you have some strength?"

"Since you want to die, don't blame my dynasty for not giving you the chance."

The gazes of the half-saint of the dynasty who stepped out of the warship met those of Zhao Yun.

"Have the guts to fight in the sky."

Do you think I, Zhao Yun, am afraid of you?!

Neither of them uttered any more words; their figures vanished instantly, colliding in mid-air.

All the soldiers on the wall breathed a sigh of relief after the two figures soared into the sky.

The pressure from the demigod was too strong.

Its strength made all the soldiers on the wall somewhat terrified.

If the enemy makes a move, all the million soldiers trapped on the walls could be wiped out in an instant.

Fortunately, the half-saint of the Great Zhou intervened and blocked the opponent's pressure; otherwise, the opponent's pressure alone would have been enough to annihilate most of them.

woo woo woo...

The sound of bugles rang out.

Countless arrows rained down from the hundreds of warships in the sky, striking all the soldiers on the fortress walls.

The battle horns have sounded.

Under this dense rain of arrows, a large number of soldiers on the fortress fell.

"Fight back, Godslayer Crossbow, fire!"

The armies of various dynasties on the wall also began their counterattack.

The God-Slaying Crossbow is not comparable to ordinary crossbows. It was crafted by a weapon refiner and is a military weapon specifically designed to deal with powerful experts.

Even those at the Nirvana Realm or the Yin-Yang Realm would find it difficult to be killed by the God-Slaying Crossbow.

As for the King of Life and Death, who is above the Yin-Yang Realm, that's another matter.

After the rain of arrows, the imperial army rushed out of the warships and charged towards the armies of various dynasties on the city walls.

"kill."

Not to be outdone, the armies of various dynasties on the city wall also rose into the air to meet them.

The two armies soon clashed.

None of these armies had any experts above the Reincarnation Realm Venerable level who made a move; the strongest among them was only a general at the Life and Death Realm King level.

The power of those above the Samsara Venerable is too terrifying. Once they make a move, the impact is far-reaching, and killing enemies will also harm their own people.

Therefore, the Venerable One of the Samsara Realm did not make a move in such a low-level battlefield.
